Early this morning before I started work on that kitchen again, I wandered about in the gardens. The raccoons wreaked havoc on the cabbages digging all but eight of the thirty-eight I planted last week. Their antics did not stop there as every potted herb on the new herb shelf arbor was dumped upside down and several pots wound up in Pebble Creek. My few days off from yardwork shows. It appears that I cannot catch a break. If I work inside redoing the house, the outside becomes a mess and vice-versa. It is an endless, thankless work I do.
My meandering did bring one smile and one ponderance. The nereid lilies and guernsey lilies are blooming...somewhat. The lubber grasshoppers love these things so I have had to fight to get any blooms. Two, however, were blooming side by side in the veggie garden, of all places. It is all good...they can stay. One red. One yellow. The thought of these two "friends" bobbing their showy hats in the slight, morning breeze brought the smile. The ponderance came from the question "Why can't people be equally as friendly?" Be kind, folks, as you never know what the other person is enduring. Just be kind.
